• Skylight and Door Mechanisms: Keep the tracks and moving parts of the skylights and sliding door clean and free of debris to ensure smooth operation.

6. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your greenhouse.

• Panels Blowing Out: If panels dislodge during strong winds, ensure all clips are properly in place. Consider using clear silicone sealant or additional clips for extra security. Verify the greenhouse is level and square, and securely anchored to the ground.
• Water Leaks: Check all panel connections and ensure glass glue or sealant is properly applied and intact. Reapply sealant to any areas showing gaps or cracks.
• Difficulty with Sliding Door/Skylights: Clean the tracks and mechanisms of the sliding door and skylights to remove any dirt or debris that might be impeding movement. Ensure no parts are bent or obstructed.
• Condensation Inside: Increase ventilation by opening the skylights to reduce humidity and condensation. Ensure proper air circulation.
